In a bankruptcy case, should I make a counter offer on an amount

This answer was rated:

★★★★★

In a bankruptcy case, should I make a counter offer on an amount that they have asked for concerning scheduled values? Thy are asking for $6600.00 which I jus dont have. Also will the fact that I am in the middle of claiming LTD have any bearing on this since at this point I have little to no income.

ok

WebLaw :

You, as the bankruptcy debtor, chose the values listed on your petition. If the trustee is requesting a higher value, you may make a counteroffer and the trustee may accept it. However if the trustee is requesting $6600 based upon the values that you stated in your petition, it is unlikely that he will accept less. In that situation you may want to request that you be permitted to make the payments over a period of time. The fact that you are on disability would typically not have any bearing on your case
